At the ancient Kultobe settlement in the
Turkistan region, archaeologists have discovered the remains of a warrior and
weapons dating back to the Kangju period. Excavations at the Kylyshzhzar burial
site revealed a sword over one meter long and a dagger, known as an akinak - a
typical weapon of warriors from that era, researchers say. It is believed to
have belonged to a man aged between 35 and 40. Experts emphasize the exceptional
value of the discovery as similar artifacts have not been found in this region
for over 25 years. Of particular interest is the burial ritual, typical of the
Kangju era. The artifacts have been sent to a laboratory for scientific
examination.
«We are conducting excavations at the
Kultobe settlement and the Kylyshzhzar burial site. Our main goal is to
preserve the artifacts and transfer them to museums for presentation at the
national level,» said Kaiyrkhan Shartakov, junior researcher of the Ordabasy
National Historical and Cultural Reserve.
